<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No doubt you've seen that Finnian's received some devastating news regarding his cancer, and that we're now in an end-of-life stage of his journey. This has been extremely difficult for all of us, especially his young family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Finnian and Louise, his wonderful wife, were married only 6 months ago. Their daughter, Saoirse, celebrated her 1st birthday the weekend before that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Though Finn has been living with cancer for 4 years and has spoken very openly about his experience and been able to make certain preparations, we all believed he had more time to come. Sadly, with the cancer spreading rapidly, we now have to cherish each day we have left with him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We in the family are doing all we can to ensure Louise and Saoirse have all the love and support we can offer. But Finn is very aware that he isn't able to provide the kind of financial security he wished he could to his wife and daughter.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a result, we've decided to launch this GoFundMe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you were able to contribute, your donation would help Louise:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Take time off work while she deals with her grief
</li>
<li>Pay for essential bills, including the mortgage her and Finn share
</li>
<li>Put money aside for the raising and education of Saoirse
</li>
<li>Pay for other expenses that might come up when the time comes.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you're unable to donate any money but would like to pass a message of support, or offer any other form of help to Louise, Finn, or Saoirse, we'll make it easy for you to reach out to us. Any and all support will be greatly appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The response we've received since Finn announced his news on social media has been overwhelming. We really can't thank you enough for your kind words and gestures. Getting up each day and dealing with this is much easier thanks to the support you're giving us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you, and with love,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From Finn and all the family xx

Finnian's emergency family fund

<div>Hi, I’m Lynn, the mother of an 11-month-old Great Pyrenees mix shelter dog that I adopted from Southern Paws in January.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I recently found out that she has congenital hip dysplasia on both sides. She is in pain every day and is now on pain pills. Both hips are permanently dislocated due to the dysplasia, and she needs surgery called Total Hip Replacement (THR). This surgery will most probably be needed on both sides and costs $10,000.00 per hip.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Without the surgery, she cannot jump, run, or take longer walks. Since this is not the type of life any animal should have, I have decided to get her the surgery. There are not too many places that do this surgery, but I found AMC in Manhattan that can help her.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Since this is a lot of money for a single parent with a daughter in college, I’ve decided to try GoFundMe. <strong>Any donations would be greatly appreciated.</strong>
